Like it or not, I think they have committed to 3 and only 3 helmets this year (maybe will see the Cardinal Chrome specialty one again this year also). So red, white and black helmets. Although I wouldn't mind seeing it, I just don't think we will see a Gold helmet this year. Three helmets are hard enough to maintain, let alone a 4th.
On the other hand it wouldn't surprise me if we saw some gold pants at some point this year, or maybe next. Again, using the Falcons uni I saw recently, I made this pic.
View attachment 57237View attachment 57238 The Cardinal on the gold pant ties in to the jersey or helmet, and the black piping ties in as well. They could leave the cardinal and White pants w/o any stripe. For some reason, now the addition of the black makes this very hard to think 'ketchup and mustard', as many would, if too much gold, or no black.
I think we forego gold helmets for the time being. I do see gold pants on the horizon. I think we could be getting a bit too close to having too much black, but will reserve judgement until after the season. I don't mind the black, in fact like it (might even be a bit of 'genious', I don't know, Campbell seems to know what he's doing so far).
But I want to see our Cardinal and Gold. Gold pant is the perfect place to reintroduce more gold.
